YOUR TEACHERS

Rebecca Campbell is a celebrated spiritual teacher and bestselling author of Light Is The New Black, Rise Sister Rise and the Work Your Light Oracle. Rebecca teaches internationally and draws on ancient feminine, shamanic and bhakti wisdom lineages in her work. A workshop with Rebecca is heart opening, activating, deeply soulful, empowering, down to earth and fun. In 2015 she was awarded the ‘Promising New Talent’ award by the Mind Body Spirit Festival in London. In 2016 Rebecca received ‘Emerging Voice’ by Kindred Spirit Magazine and was honoured to receive the ‘100 Women of Spirit’ award by Dadi Janki of the Brahama Kumaris for feminine leadership and spiritual service.

For over 30 years Robyn Silverton has worked with thousands of different people who have all had one thing in common: they really wanted to feel better - in body, mind or spirit - or often, all three. It’s a feeling she knows well, having experienced serious health challenges from birth. Her qualification as a physiotherapist offers a wonderful foundation in the science of the human body and has served as vital launchpad for all the complementary disciplines she has gone on to explore. Subsequent training in acupuncture, myofascial release, energy integration, intuitive guidance and yoga have continued to shape how she works with clients and, combined, enable Robyn to take a truly holistic approach in addressing every level of being. In essence, she is a facilitator and motivator who gets to the heart of physical and emotional matter.
